Was just commenting on a Facebook thread about how frustrating it was to feel hesitant about referring to the Northwoods’ document (a declassified report which was drafted by the US Joint Chiefs of Staff in 1962, proposing to commit false flag operations on US soil—terrorism and such—which would then be blamed on the Castro government) in relation to the Houla massacre, as Professor Choussodovsky does here, lest one be psycho-pathologized as a “conspiracy theorist.”
My FB friend, Sana al-Yemen, responded with this brilliant observation: “Question life you are a scientist, religion you are a philosopher, the mind you are a psychologist, historical events you are a historian..But question governments and you are a conspiracy theorist..”
N.B.
And no, I am not arguing US agents/forces helped orchestrate Houla, as the Syrian rebels/al-Qaeda inspired groups are perfectly capable of committing such atrocities on their own. But it is important to recall such false flag operations if only to see, at the very least, how very feasible it is for a government which has such precedents, to engage in the kind of black propaganda which deliberately misattributes blame for atrocities committed by one party onto another.
